Will you need to commuet during standard morning and evening hours or do you have schedule flexibility to get an early start on traffic?

somewhat flexible.

I would think I would want to arrive at my work location about 6:30-7:00am to beat the majority of traffic.
leave by 6pm-ish

You may like Suwanee. Also look in Cherokee county. Also, an hour during the weekend may be two hours during the week!

Yes, we are well aware of that.
That is why I am specifically asking what would be about an hour from the perimeter during the weekday - specifically 6am-7am in the morn and 6-7pm in the eve.

Thanks!
